After processing all they were told, my friends took to this whole thing like a fish to water. They accepted my being without any restrictions, Ashton as well. Our friendship grew even stronger without any prohibitions in our lives. We were able to have a prosperous senior year, prepared ourselves accordingly for the final exams. Although we were on the peak of exams commencing, there was always a tradition of having our matric dance before the exams started. Matric dance is like prom dance for other countries, we called it differently because it only happened when we were in our senior year, matric class. We had so much fun on the dance, no conflicts whatsoever, even though some of our classmates got inebriated during the party. Isabel had even tried her luck again with Ashton, where she ended up making a fool of herself in front of all our classmates. Although she was a bit tipsy, I hope she forgot abot the issue so the embarassment wouldn't follow her for th

Mya managed to gain conciousness as she was taken to one of the nurse rooms in the school. I explained she wasn't exposed to any fire or smoke, it was just shock that rendered her unconscious. So they took her for a check up in the nurse's office and let her rest. I explained what had happened to Ashton and that's how we found ourselves waiting for Jay and my dad after giving them a call about the incident. Most parents were called as the school was now disrupted by the incident that had happened.My dad and Jay arrived in one car as they were together at work when we called."Lina, what happened exactly?" My dad questioned the moment he got to us.We went to a distant area to discuss the issue, that's when I told them everything that had happened and how I had acted to help in the situation. To say they were flabbergasted was putting it lightly, they didn't even say anything for a while. They seemed to be pondering how to address the predicament we found oursel

Composure was the new gnome in our lives, since having Ashton back in our daily lives seemed to be the main cure that got everyone hyped up all over again. Even Mya and Brendan seemed to be over the moon with how things turned out, turns out they were tired of having a more 'brooding Lina' day in and day out. It certainly felt great to have some calm in our lives again, not having to think of what to do to keep yourself busy from thinking about depressing events in our lives.The dangerous life we had been scared of more than half a year ago seemed to be a distant memory now. Having those kinds of dangers removed from our lives was relief that allowed us to have a normal life, apart from what we had to deal with in our private lives.

Being outdoors became a necessity since it was the spring season and everything looked alive, except for me. It was almost half year since Ashton had left with his parents for their home in Cape Town. I managed to fulfil the promise we made to each other the night before he left but it was rather hard at times to fulfil it.I said goodbye to Ashton when they left the house because I didn't have the solidity to get him to the airport without breaking down. We had not been together for long, I was hoping for more time together but life has its ways of depriving us of the things we really want in life. We would keep the promise to each other, always keeping in contact even though we couldn't meet much.I spent most of my time outside the house with my friends, Mya and Brendan.

I woke up to a dimly lit room, again. I felt relaxed, perfectly recovered. I turned my head to my left side and found Ashton sleeping in the chair next to my bed, it really looked uncomfortable. I looked to my right side and found the room empty, except for Jack’s tab on the cyber-desk. I got up from the bed and walked to the desk. I took Jack’s tablet and tapped twice on the screen. Jack came around.“Hey kid! You’re up”, he said.His voice broke the quietness in the room. Ashton awoke with a start and quickly got to his feet. He got a head rush and quickly fell back on the chair. I got to him quickly with Jack still in my hand. I laughed at what had happened and kneeled next to his chair. I only realised then that I was in my pyjamas. Who could have put them on?“You’re okay?” I asked.He recovered and looked at me with tired eyes.“Yeah, I’m good. Just got startled by Jack’s voice

My molecular kinesis came in handy to seal the door on its doorframe before Kyle erupted from the room. Ashton was already in his defensive position from Quinn and Stuart. They both moved and Quinn stood facing me while Stuart faced Ashton. Kyle stood by the door while Roman yanked it from its position to let them both out. It seemed Roman had gotten some strength powers as he got the door off the hinges without much effort. Kyle and Roman bolted from the room, with Kyle leading and Roman protecting him from behind.“Now I finally get my chance to squash the precious Ashton Turner, oops, my apologies, Ashton McKenzie”, Stuart said with smugness.“Well, at least you know my real name. Too bad you’re just as bad as your creator, I would have liked you a bit”, Ashton said to him, some sarcasm dripping from his tone.Be careful, Lina. These two have the super strength that you have and that’s their strongest point. So le
